Would not be surprised at all if we trade up. If there’s a game breaking WR talent in reach, why not?

I would say a 2nd rounder is good compensation at this point in his career. The bad part of the trade is all the dead cap space. Who knows, maybe Beane is about to swing for the fences and trade up for a receiver in the draft.

There are more factors to signing a player than just what you see on tape. Beane has friends inside the Panthers he trusts, which is why the Bills sign players from the Panthers. Just because the Panthers are a bad team, doesn't mean every player coming from them is worthless.

The definition of "story" from the Cambridge dictionary: "a description, either true or imagined, of a connected series of events" By definition, a story is not real. It's how someone remembers something. They're mad because the company that created the series didn't tell the story they way they wanted them to. Boohoo. There's no real version of the story. Personally, I watched the whole thing and was just waiting for the "good" episodes where the drama started. The Alex Guerrero theme was my favorite, LOL. I especially loved Gronk saying that Belichick was so pissed off about it and told him he was a ***** for using all those bands. ahahahaha

now that I've seen the video above, I have to agree....... Lame. LOL I guess this goes in the category of, "better than nothing." Personally, I miss the original kickoff, especially when you had a return man who could always bust one, but that's life.

cool, interested to watch this, whatever it will look like, lol

I can understand the decision to retire from any player who goes through an injury like that. If you really think about it, coming back and playing after being carted off the field in an ambulance is nothing short of amazing. Not only from the logical standpoint of risking your health, but also just playing with that PTSD every week.

I would argue that the "good rosters" are largely a product of the coaching staff's ability to develop players and help them play to their highest level. That's actually the largest indication of good coaching. Fans think coaching is only play calling and clock management. Those things are important too, but the real work the coaches do is in practice.

Glad to hear he's getting another shot! Hoping the best for his recovery and career.

God I was agreeing with everything, until your last sentence! hahahaha . Honestly I don't think any LB is turning into multiple picks, doesn't seem to be a coveted position anymore like it used to be. Maybe he would get a 4th? I'd rather keep him.

LOL, love it. A huge F U over to Denver, and Pittsburgh gets to just grab him for free basically. No risk and huge upside for both Pittsburgh and Russel Wilson. Also, how many years can Russell Wilson carry this on? He has multiple years with guaranteed money doesn't he?

depends on how you look at it. It's a great signing for them at that price IMHO. I'm surprised he didn't get more. Directly, did we get worse? I would say probably since he has always been a great and steady player for us at C. Indirectly? we needed that cap space, which we need for now and the future. And the unknown part is how Conner McGovern will perform at C. When we lost Tremaine Edmunds we thought we'd have a significant drop off, and then enter Terrel Bernard who surprised us all.

Seems to be this year is all about getting younger. I'm not sure we see many aging veterans pulled in, even if they're former probowlers and cheap. Better to stick a young guy in there and let him take his lumps.

Bills let most of their one year rentals walk. If they gave him a new deal, I’m going to trust what they saw.

Hasn't anyone listened to Beane? We can't even shop at K-Mart, we're shopping at Walmart.

The backup QB job in this day and age doesn't seem to actually be about playing. When you have a QB like JA17, you're not going to find anyone who can step in and do anything remotely close to what he does. That means if he gets hurt, you're basically screwed anyway. The backup QB is essentially part of the support system for the starter, which means a vet that gets along with Josh and can manage those duties is the right choice.

The Bills are making the right move, so no complaints about that. Sure he's got money and had success, the point is that he was a highly gifted, hard-working athlete with a great spirit whose career was cut short. That's disappointing, for him, the team, and the fans.

It's sad, such a great player with a great spirit who gets double bad luck on the injury front....life is truly not fair sometimes.

A lot of beloved players on this list, but the moves seem like the right ones to me. All of these players have high salaries and are either on the way down age wise, or have had major injuries and their future performance is highly questionable. This could be a slight down year, but with the stability of this franchise + Josh Allen, I think we'll still be competitive. Look at the Chiefs, they didn't look "the same" this year, but they won it all.

Very honestly, I'm surprised that Morse has played as long as he has. Every time he got another concussion, I was just waiting for him to hang it up. Of course the team is better with him on it, but put this in the category of the Belichick method....better to get rid of a player a year too soon than a year too late. We need to clear cap space, and older veterans with large salaries are always your best candidates.

agree about the trade, was good for both teams. No matter what players you have, there will always be some injuries or freak off-the-field things that happen. It’s a game of percentages. my view is, any player who can be cut for savings on the Bills roster with little or no cap hit is a cut candidate. It’s unfortunate for those players…. Bills can’t afford to keep Hines, especially given his injury. He just caught a bad break and I hope he can get his career going again.

I think they are, and the consistency in winning they've shown is the best proof you can have. I think of it like a game of odds, if we're in the mix every year we're going to crack through eventually. Then as far as my personal feeling goes, I can see that they are both people who are constantly working on improving themselves. Those are the kinds of people you put faith in.

I think we get one too in the next decade, maybe more than one as you said. The players around Allen and the coordinators are going to change on a regular basis. It's a matter of us having the right combination of things in the right year.

exactly this! Plus, demanding a Super Bowl victory??? There are so many combined factors that contribute to this, one of which is LUCK. There isn't a singular change you can make to any team that will make a Super Bowl victory come true. Right now we're in dreamland as far as sports fans are concerned. We get to watch a team that is entertaining, wins most of the time, and has a chance at a championship every year. Can't ask for more than that.

What you’re saying is 100% true. However there’s more nuance than that. You can still hold people accountable, help them to hold themselves accountable, and work intensely and focused in a positive environment. When you’re working with highly competitive people, they’re already criticizing themselves to an extreme and don’t need additional people around them making them feel awful about themselves. We know more about psychology now than we did 20 years ago even, which is why things stopped working in New England. We know that poor mental health and fear tactics are not necessary for high performance. There are better ways to do it, and no one is going along with the “Patriot way” anymore.
